The interviewer would like to know what type of situation would cause you to quit your job, so they can assess how patient you are and what your threshold for stress may be. If you have ever quit a job before, you can discuss the situation but avoid speaking poorly of any employer in the past. Make sure that your example is one that could be justified easily. You want to avoid appearing dramatic or oversensitive.

"Earlier in my career, I quit my job because the work environment was highly toxic. The manager would gossip about other employees, and the owner of the company would scream and yell at everyone. I found a new position quickly and do not regret that situation."

I have a high tolerance for stress, high-pressure situations, and quick turnaround times so for me to quit a job it would really have to be something foul happening. Whether it be some form of harassment, danger, or illegal activities those are all things that would make me quit a job.

Chad's Feedback
Good answer! The interviewer will be assured you are an ethical person and that you have a high tolerance for stress! If you have ever quit a job in the past, consider discussing the circumstances (without speaking poorly of the previous employer).
